If you are starting from scratch, the really simple approach is to mount
the partition you want to use at the location the package expects (i.e.
/var/lib/backuppc) before you install the backuppc package so everything
lands in the right place.
ln -s /mnt/backups1/backuppc /var/lib/backuppc

I've forgotten the details of symlinks - I think the target keeps its own
ownership and permissions.
